Motivation
A useful resource and hierarchy for different types of genres and forms of content, quite well known in the library and archive community.
See User:Jheald/LoC/LCGFT for a full schedule of the thesaurus.
These values could be stored using Library of Congress authority ID (P244). (The two use the same URL format and endpoint). However the current preference at that property is to keep P244 for the Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF) and Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and not include the LCGFT vocabulary there, to try to keep the two well distinguished and to try to avoid having different values from different vocabularies for the same item.
